Addax
Addax nasomaculatus
The addax inhabits extremely arid deserts, where it travels across open dunes and stony plains in search of scattered vegetation. It feeds on desert grasses, herbs, leaves, and shrubs, gaining much of its water from food. Its broad hooves prevent it from sinking deeply into soft sand, while its long twisted horns are used in display and sparring.
